Consider reaching out to Coinfund, which has a decent Steem stake and is focused on crypto economics and investments.
I don't represent them or anything but they'd be one of the best partners you could ask for.

Thanks. We'll definitely look into that
What is the main value proposition? I know how valuable Utopian is, but I'm wondering what the elevator pitch is.
There is currently no single platform for open source projects and professionals to share knowledge and incentivise collaboration out there. GitHub has 51 million users who have no place to have their voice heard - just share code. And what about other professionals like marketers and translators who want to contribute? They have no way to get involved.
Having worked with many projects and contributors for the past year, we have a very clear picture of what it is the open source ecosystem wants and needs. With our awesome team of Utopians, we are working very hard to create just that and are offering investors the oportunity to contribute to the creation of this paradise for open source.
Sounds great. So it's a charity pitch, then? The investors get to write off their investment?
If not, I'm wondering what the value proposition is.
Here there is an overview of the main revenue model and a quick overview of other potential revenue models https://steemit.com/ceodiary/@elear/utopian-pills-utopian-v2-business-model-is-utopian-about-to-leave-steem
That looks awesome.
Exactly. This is what I would like to find out too.
We have a revenue scheme and a number of potential revenue streams, if that's what you mean. Also working on some projections for 2019-2020.
I think @inertia also means if investors will get a share of the revenue.
What are you ofering to investors? How much do they expect to make on their investment in a year and what is vehicle u will distribute those benefits to investors with?
It’s a standard tech startup company investment model: shares in the Utopian company. Revenue from commissions on bounties, tips, reviews, and related services offered to a large and fast growing user base.
Investment horizon is 3-5 years.

This is amazing news and if someone can pull this of it's the Utopian Team! Lots of great minds and hard workers there. I wish you good luck! I'll keep translating under my alt-account and am excited to see the project grow for years to come.
Thank you! We look forward the success of Utopian and our community as a whole.
That is some very impressive numbers!
And we are just getting started :)
Yea! there are many active open source projects which can be brought in. Another area is the translation projects. If the value of the Steem stays reasonable, this is an excellent model. May be something like Stable coins using Bitshares or so can be thrown into make sure that the return the developers gets is lucrative.
Very cool. You guys got me on Steem and really help me I. So many ways, good luck on your goals! And I'll be sure to continue using your amazing service.
Congratulations @utopian-io!
Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following category:
Can't wait to see Utopian platform rock the developer. This platform is quite unique. I feel like it's a combination of Github (as a social platform) and OpenCollective (as a way to seek funding). Hope this platform will be big and last forever, supporting any kind of OSS, either from individu or organization 🤘.
This is the way... Im in to spread the word.
Cheers for this step!
And resteemed as it shoulds!
Thanks for your support @leotrap!
Great initiative that seems to be looking towards the next level which is encouraging. I look forward to more details as it could be a great project for the ecosystem.
